It involves removing the tank unit and replacing the venting and pipes with proper fittings and venting that is up to code for a tankless water heater.
Ensure that you hire a licensed professional to install the unit. Remember that in most cases gas modifications will have to be made for the large number of BTUs that tankless units use.
